Romania - Building a Future

The first recorded Christian church in Romania was in 1191! Following the collapse of communism, many people from this country emigrated to the west. The membership of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Romania decreased from 100,000 in 1989 to 14,770 in 2003. The number of pastors decreased from 120 to 41 during that same time period. Today, through your commitments, the LWF supports ministries in Romania by strengthening theological education, mission outreach and ministry with youth. The LWF walks with the people of this church and connects them with other member churches for networking, planning and support. You make a difference!
